hard drive wipe out

While we were surfing today, HP was conspiring against us.

Our computer failed to boot properly...some corrupt file. After a diagnostics test that turned up nothing, it offered us the option of an F10 systems recovery. The caveat said we'd have to reinstall updates but our files would not be affected.

WRONG.

Everything is gone. Every little thing disappeared.

The last time I backed up our system was April. I should have done it more often, but I should also clean my car, read more radiology, buy some more deoderant, hire a personal assistant.

This sucks big time. Our Costa Rica vacation and any other photos we snapped since April, along with our documents, iTunes, whatever, were released into cyberspace.

Wipe out.
